[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you save the PDF of the common app application, you can see the scores listed in there when you self-report.

How can an admissions officer not look at that?

DC reported 5 test scores -two 5s and three 4s.
He didn't list AP Scholar with Distinction on awards

...and even if they didn't care, DC worked really hard to get those scores, [b]which will provide college credit. [/b]

Only state schools or low tier colleges will give you “college credit” for AP scores. And guarantee the college course in that subject your kid “worked so hard” for a test score in is much better actually taught at a college by a professor.[/quote]

Not true.  Many top-tier colleges will give you credit for APs.  I was told Harvard takes a 5, Good colleges take a 4, Ohio State takes a 3.[/quote]

The issue with top tier schools is that they limit the number of total credits they will grant. If a kid comes in within 12 APs for example he is likely only to get credit for 4 total. Or May be offered option of placing out of an intro class but not get credit. [/quote]
